Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews didn’t make all those guest appearances during the 2011 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival strictly for fun. He was also apparently collecting business cards.

Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews performed his own set at the 2011 New Orleans Jazz Fest, but also sat in with the likes of Jeff Beck and Kid Rock.

Andrews’ forthcoming second album for Verve Forecast, “For True,” boasts guest appearances from Kid Rock and Jeff Beck – both of whom he joined onstage at Jazz Fest.

Other special guests on “For True,” slated for a September 13 release, include longtime Andrews mentor Lenny Kravitz – who contributes bass to a song called “Roses” – guitarist Warren Haynes, R&B singer Ledisi, the Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan and Cyril Neville, and members of Galactic. Andrews’ touring band, Orleans Avenue, is also featured.

The new album, like its predecessor, was produced by Galactic saxophonist Ben Ellman. Andrews wrote or co-wrote all 14 tracks.

Verve released Andrews’ acclaimed national debut, the Grammy-nominated “Backatown,” in 2010. He supported it with a relentless tour schedule, performing on five continents and at a slew of high-profile festivals, including Bonnaroo, Japan’s Fuji Rock Fest, Australia’s Byron Bay Blues Festival and the Playboy Jazz Festival. He performed in Brazil, Singapore and many points in between, and opened shows for Beck and the Dave Matthews Band.

He also played himself in several episodes of the HBO series “Treme.”
